A STUDY OF SEASICKNESS.
How the Matter Appears to
an Old Sailor.
Carious Instances Showing the Effect, of
Temperament and Imagination,
An old sailor sends the following
letter to the New York Eceniwj Post:
Two letters from European correspond¬
ents have recently appeared nearly
simultaneously containing antagonis¬
tic views of seasickness. The writer
to this’Evening Post, who made the
outward passage on the Normandie, is
an optimist: lie says: “All that is
needed is self-control; preserve that
for five minutes and you are saved.”
The pessimist of the Commercial Ad
vertiserh as no self-control, but resigns
himself to the inevitable, for the “great
ug!v fact of seasickness remains. No
ooiurivanuo, ao specific ims been in
vented to mitigate its woes.”

right. A great many
into the question. All brains and all
stomachs are not constructed alike,
and seasickness is sometimes a disease
of one and sometimes of the ottier.
Dr. Stevens, the oculist, has written
an ingenious pamphlet, in which he
demonstrates to his own satisfaction
that it i 3 a disease of the eyes. 1 am
not able to controvert this, because I
have never had a blind man for a
shipmate—not many blind men go to
sea professionally, or for the purpose
if seeing anything abroad. Few per
Bons do, in fact, escape the clutches of
the monster who attacks in different
ways. About fifty years ago he had
me under control for the first ton days
of my seafaring life,.and if I did not
have the will power of “Periander,”
my superiors had it, but all their
“starting up” was of no avail. How¬
ever, that ten days was all that was
required of me, .and he has never
tried it again. On the other hand, i
once sailed with a captain who, after
thirty years’ experience, always suf¬
fered on the first day of a passage.
A very curious, and to the ship an
expensive, idiosyncrasy onee came
under my observation, Wo had a
passenger from Boston to Leghorn.
During the whole forty days ho vora¬
ciously devoured six daily meals. First
he breakfasted with ihe mate and me.
I shall be sufficiently understood if I
say that he immediately afterward
went on deck, lie then came down
below and had plenty of room for
another hearty breakfast with the
second mate. lie observed the same
rule with regard to dinner and supper,
and the second mate stayed with him
so that lie enjoyed excellent health
excepting for the few moments of in¬
tervals, and arrived at Leghorn with a
gain of avoirdupois.
In general it will be found that ro¬
bust persons of good digestion are
mure liable to seasickness than the
dyspeptic. Faith and inspiration have
much to do with the mat ter. AVe were
going out on a fishing excursion from
Hampton beach. A lady declined to
be one of the party because she was
always seasick even in crossing a ferry.
1 told her of a sovereign remedy which
would be effectual for three hours, tho
time we expected to be in the boat,
acknowledging that it would last no
longer. This candid admission in¬
creased her faith “in the skeins of red
yarn 1 tied about her wrists. Un¬
fortunately we were becalmed so that
we did not get ashore for five hours,
during the last two of which she wa~
terribly* 111, having been without a
qualm for tin? Wine of guarantee. It
is, perhaps, needless to say that the
remedy was invented on the spot. A
gentleman going upon an East India
voyage was troubled by seasickness on
the passage nine miles from the wharf
to Boston light. The ship anchored in
Nantucket Roads to await a fair wind,
and our friend turned into his berth
After he lnd slept an hour or two he
was awakened by a fellow-passenger
who said to him: “Well, we are out
side the light, and she is slipping along
very smoothly.” Before he could get
on the deck to look at the ocean he
was so overcome by the enemy thal he
required the steward’s attention. The
ship had not moved from her anchor¬
age.
A sudden sense of danger will as¬
suredly put an end to seasickness.
Whatever may have been the condi
tion of the passengers of the City of
Berlin in this respect at the moment
when she struck the iceberg I am
confident that they were an active,
healthy set of persons until they were
assured that there was no longer any
danger. Once when running down
the Gulf of Lyons before a mistrale,
all of the 500 French soldiers we ha 1
on board seemed to be at death’s door
berause of the rolling of the ship. At
last the water got the better of the
pumps, and rose nearly to the furnace
doors. All the hand buckets were
called into use, and canvas buckets
were improvised. The soldiers were
made to bail for their lives, and the
urgency of the situation soon got the
belter of their stomachs.
Squelched.
“What’s that you have in your
hand?” asked Mrs. Gimlet of her hus¬
band as he brought home a roll of
manuscript.
“Brains, madam,” replied Mr. Gim¬
let. pompously. “Are you surprised
at that fact?
“Not in the least,” she replied. “I
knew you didn’t carry them in your
head.’ —A. Y. Qiaphua

We come now to Lieutenant Gor¬
don’s observations upon the natural
history of the country, and first of all
as to its human inhabitants. These
are very scanty, and, with the excep¬
tion of a few white men at the traders’
post, are solely Eskimos, On the
north side of the strait they are quite
familiar with the ways ot the white
men, and seem to be highly pleased at
the prospect of increased intercourse
with them. Occasionally one is met
with who has mastered the English
tongue, but not often. Many others
understand well enough what is said
to them in that language, although
they cannot be persuaded to speak
it. They are particularly fond of any
article of civilized clothing, and the
head-man at the North Ibuff manifes- |
ted stand-up no small collar, pride which at the possession he displayed of | j
a
to the utmost advantage. In charac- j
ter they are docile, amiable, and wiU
ing to work. When landing the stores
and coal at North Bluff they worked
all day along with the men, carrying
weights up over the rocks, and
away as choerily and heartily as
could be desired, asking no other re
numeration than biscuits, of which
they are inordinately fond,
These people have no farinaceous food
of any kind, and, as a consequence, the
children are not weaned untilthey reach
Hie ago of three or four years. The
families are small, there rarely being
more than two or three children, and,
although early marriages are the rule,
their numbers must he diminishing,
because signs of their presence were
met with everywhere, while the people
themselves were found at only three
six places along the straits, and there
aro only some 'five or six families
known between Cape Ch'udleigh and
Nachvak. Along the Labrador coast
the Eskimos gather in small settlements
around the Moravian mission-stations.
Kain is considered the largest settle
ment, and its Eskimo population does
net exceed two hundred souls. Those
at the stations are all educated, being
able to read and write in their own
language, and according to the mis
sionaries, are regular attendants at
church, and very fond of music—two
excellent and hopeful traits certainly.

Jutiand.
The Lym-Fiord anti its branches di
vide northern Jutland into several is
lands of irregular shape. A triweekly :
passenger steamer connects all the
ports, and there are a few towns of
importance which do not have railway
communication with the south. The
character of this extreme end of Jut
land, as we saw it from the steamer on
the Lyrn- Fiord, varies from east to
west to correspond with the difference
between the Cattegat and the
North Seas. The former, a
well-sheltered, land-locked gulf,
washes pleasant beaches bord¬
ered by gentle slopes and sand
dunes, while the boisterous North Sea
dashes its breakers at the foot of high
cliffs, and a stunted, hardy vegetation
clings with difficulty to the summits
of wind-swept hills. Trees are scarce
in all northern Jutland, although the
rest of tho peninsula is well wooded
and fertile. North of the Lym-Foird
we saw scarcely enough trees tov make
a day’s lire for an Adirondack sports
man. Feat bogs abound all over J at
land,and the cutting and stacking of
peat is the only visible industry in a
very large territory. The churches are
iho only noteworthy architectural feat
tires, and indeed it is on the churches
alone that may be found specimens of 1
tha characteristic construction and or
namentation which mark a distinct
artistic- period in the history of Den¬
mark. Barren, inhospitable people
they are, too, most of them. The peo¬
ple, like tho most of the Englanders,
have generally erected the houses of
worship on the most exposed point in
the landscape, where the winter blasts
and the summer sun make it aliko un
comfortable the year round, A
weather-beaten stone church on a bar- !
ren hill-top in Jutland is, next to the
sepulchral structures of tho New Eng
land coast, the most forbidding of all
religious edifices.— Harpers.
Rig Sheep Ranches.
The wool growing interest of Mon

to Fort Benton and the headwaters of
the Teton and Sun rivers. The sheep

numbering from 1,000 to 25,000 head,
meil of small means are engaging
in the business with certain profit to
themselves—many of them starting
with 1.000 head or less. The sheep
growers are proving a more direct and
positive benefit to Montana than the
cattlemen, for the reason that more
money is required to conduct the busi
ness profitably, and it gives
uient to a much greater number of
borers. Sheep require constant care
and attention, while cattle require lit
tie, and are allowed to roam at will
until the rounding-up season arrives.

Farmers who attempt to keep a few

mistake which we have frequently no¬

who do not study the habits and needs
of these insects is in placing the hives
’
where they , will be exposed , to . the thp dirprfc direct
rays of the sun during the very hottest
weather in summer. Perhaps the hives
are placed in a row on stands covered
with boards to keep off the rain, hut al¬
most invariably these stands face ihe
south, and there is no protection against

cover are ail well enough, but the hives
should be shaded during the hottest

Professor Lo/.enbv reports that pyre
thrum of Persian iusect powder has
proved the most effective of anything
yet used at the Ohio station for cabbage
worms.
The American Cultivator says that the

and that a solution of one tablespoonful
to a gallon of water has so far proven a
sure preventive. It is applied with a dip

Ewes that have lost their lambs, ex¬
cept by accident, should be fed a little
grain now and turned off early for the
butcher. It needs very little grain to
fatten them on grass, and though they
are often fattened on grass alone, they
will pay for a little grain as well »9 any
stock the farmer keeps. The poorer
sheepnnd all overlive years old should
be fattened and sold.
A very good feed either for green
forage or grain is made by sowing oats
aud peas together, Where field peas
are sown alone the vines get down and
become moldy. A few oats sown at the
game time give them needed support,
and what oats are grown are so much
clear grain. Oats and peas cut gteen
make an excellent ensilaging crop.
It used to be an old joke with farmers
that more corn grew on crooked than
on straight rows, simply because they
were greater in length. In the best
farming districts straight rows of corn
are now trur rule and crooked ones the
exception. The use of horse cultivators
in tilling corn makes the straightness of
rows more necessary than when most of
the work was done by hand labor. With
straight rows the cultivator teeth may be
run oo close to the corn that few or no
weeds will remain to be removed by
hand.
if a farmer wishes to get the full ben¬
efit of manure on Ins orchard, and quick¬

tree that stows promise of fruit so soou
as blossoms can be seen, spread it as
widely as the tree extends on cither side,
and if possible it is better to leave it on

grown unde: a bearing apple tree are not
worth the hbor of cultivating and har¬
vesting. They cost in injury to the tree’s
productiveness more than the best crops
grown in the open field are worth.
Professor Burrill, of Illinois, says the
amount of witer exhaled from the leaves
of trees in dry, hot weather is prodigious
—vastly greater than any one not ac¬
quainted witl tlie results of experiments
upon the subject supposes. As near as
can be made out from investigations upon
small plants in pots, a large sized forest
tree throws into the atmosphere every
favorable sumnter day about fifty barrels
of water, countiug forty gallons to the
barrel. One aiple tree twenty years old
may be estinaatajd to be one-fifth as large,
end to exha e (en barrels of water each
clear and breety day of June, July and
August. This seems incredible, but it is
not above the accurately determined
facts with pitted plants of many kinds.

happy and valuable discovery.

A Singer’s Life.
Mme. Uazcile Nilsson has interesting imnartpff facts io thn about Pall
Mall some
a singer’s lite. She says:
“1 am obliged to go to bed as early as
possible after singing, and even on ‘off
nights’ am ordered to retire as early as
convenient after dinner. You see, the
voice and the spirit must be fresh in the
early morning for practice, so as to give
space for rest and a drive in the open air
before singing in the afternoon or eve¬
ning.” “I suppose this extreme care is
necessary ?” “ Even to the strongest
woman who wishes to preserve her voice
for any space of time. And you will
recollect that my voice ‘is my fortune,’
sir,” she said. “And a very fine fortune,
too.” “I have a quiet word for you,”
Mme. Nilsson went on, “on the much
talked-of question of the earnings of
soprani. I know you think the rate we
are paid is extravagant. I have had
severe losses at times, but these have
is: nothing to do with the question, which
Are wc overpaid? Now, in the first
place, mon ami, we are rare, we song
birds. You can count all the soprani of
the first line on the fingers of one hand.
Now, take our kindred artist, the painter.
He is not such a rare bird as a soprano.
If he is really good, and paints portraits
inLondon or-Paris, lie makes from 1110,000
to £20,000 a year. He is not only rare—he
is numerous. What say you of your
Millais, Hoi), Leighton, Hcrkomer, Ou
less in London: and Meissonier, Carolus
Durran and Cabanel, not to mention poor
Bastier-Legage, in Paris, as well as Sar¬
gent and several more?” “Two blacks,
geat diva, do not make a white!” “No;
but they help one to a standard of black¬
ness. We singers are rare; we are com¬
peted for, and, according to your natural
law of value, fetch a high price, as
would a fairly handsome diamond. Such
a one as is worth £300 or £400 now, if
there were only four or five in the world,
would fetch twenty, thirtv thousand—
what you will.” “But the diamond and
the picture remain, while the opera is
only a fleeting joy.” “And so is the
voice of the siDger, who cannot go on
singing in her dotage as a painter can
paint. Sans deraissonner, the working
life of the artist on canvas is fully twice
as long as that of the singer, whose voice
or general health may break down any
moment, and who is exposed to risks in
hurrying other, from one engagement to an¬
from which the painter is entirely
free. As for me 1 lead a triangular life
between London, Paris and the United
States. All receive me charmingly, and
the Americans always seem delighted to

up of hard work, care and self
denial—so far ns I know—the absolute
conditions of achieving and sustaining a
high professional reputation. One lives,
as it were, in a glass case.”

poison which the kidneys and liver should
remove from the blood, if left therein, soon
knocks the- lifo-out of the strongest and most

of these vital organs by so wonderful and

Mr. Kelly has nervous dyspepsia, we learn,
indicating, as we have said, a break down of
nerve force. His case should be a warning to

Teiiczuela’s Climates.
There are three zones, three climates,
within the limits of Venezuela, from cold
too iutense to be borne by man to the
greatest degree of heat known to the
earth’s surface. The snow-capped alpine zone lies to
the west among the sum¬
mits of the Andes, where are plains,
sandy deserts called paranios, swept by
blasts which chill the blood ; but there
is good grass and plenty of shelter, and
the ranges for cattle are said to equal
those ot Montana. The next zone is from
five to eight thousand feet above the sea,
covered with forests of noble timber and
some of the most nutritions grasses that
grow. This zone will produce wheat
and corn like the plains of Kansas, and
President Guzman Blanco is trying to
encourage the cultivation of cereals by
placing an enormous duty on flour and
prohibiting the importation of wheat or
corn. The consequence is that corn
meal is one of the greatest luxuries the
people have and it costs the average
housekeeper as much for bread as for
meat. The third zone is the tropical,
where sugar, coflee, spices, and fruits of
all sorts are produced in the greatest
abundance. The Venezuelans claim t !
theirs is the only land where coffee and
corn, sugar and apples, bananas and
wheat grow in the same soils. From the
Andes mountains flow innumerable
streams, those on the western slope form¬
ing the river and lake of Maracaibo, and
those of the eastern slope the mighty
Orinoco, one of the greatest rivers in the
world, which drains a country as large
; as the United States and pours a vol¬
ume of two hundred and forty cubic
inches of writer every second into the sea.
It inundates its valley like the Nile, the
difference between high water in the
rainy season and low water in the dry
being forty feet. r i liis inundated region
is said to be very rich and prolific, but
naturally given to fevers of all sorts.
The Stale of Alabama fa[rlv bristles
with young and vigorous cities which
were entirely unknown and unthought
of fifteen years ago The city of Bir¬
mingham—the magic city—lias surged
far ahead of them all in substantial and
rapid growth. built The howling ground upon which
it was was a wilderness
fifteen years ago ; to-day, it is a city of
18,000 inhabitants. The industrial
progress made there during the last four
years is the wonder of the whole world.
